Especially for youngestof9, same cabin 11910. Great, nice size, very livable. Nicest part is balcony, two lounges and two chairs. NOTE to all balcony lovers, GO AFT, the side balconies seem so small, you can see pictures in other posts, but two chairs and a small tale take up 80% of room. Quick notes: Food, we ate in all specialty and loved them all, Ocean Blue up to $49 each, unless you are a connoisseur just pass, nice wanted the experience, but definitely, to me not worth it. Teppanacky especially good. To me Cagney's best, La Bistro minor problems but ok. Talking to others they were very happy with Manhattan, we had breakfast usually at Taste, very good every day, buffet breakfast was fine for me, O'sheenans was fine for lunch as was buffet.

Shows, Circa de Sol, had $39 seats, was super, food great, filet and shrimp, show and people very good in difficult venue. Burn the floor, fantastic, the energy these kids have is wonderful. Didn't like second city improve, one laugh maybe. Fireworks, Friday night about 10, fine from your aft balcony very nice touch. From others H2O at night rocking, Bliss always jumping, great reports about Blues Band. I was so pleasantly surprised at never being crowded, my main concern for a ship holding 4,000, easy on, slight delay in terminal at departure but when called off and thru customs in 10 minutes.

Negatives, some of the more advanced ages thought the ship was very hard to walk in because of it's size, pool area way too small, very hard to get lounge chair, H2O better chance, enjoyed time there, Spa was nice some jet in pool still not working and whirlpool luke warm for 3 days, sona, steam room fine, BUT priced at $199 each has just put it off my list for future. Still can't figure what salt room is suppose to do.

Casino, my favorite spot usually, has downgraded givebacks, hosts cool to cold but floor staff above average.

Was very impressed overall as were many I spoke with, great ship well finished, have fun all, do what makes you happy.

Very impressed

 

Thank you so much! I am so happy with choosing 11910 and I appreciate your repot! I'm so exciting - 19 more Sundays to go ;)

We were in an aft facing on deck 12 and the noise from H20 was not a problem for us. The balcony door has a very tight seal which blocks out the noise and the vibration. We did not hear a thing. The glow party was louder than other nights but it still was not a problem.

We just returned from 5/26 sailing of the Breakaway. We were in aft facing balcony on deck #14 (#14876).

 

Balcony was nice size. Although we only had 2 chairs and a table, there wouls have been plenty of room for a lounge chair.

 

My omly complaint regarding this location came on our second night in Bermuda. The aft facing balconies on deck #14 are two floors below Spice H20, where all the parties are held at night on deck. For some reason, the noise from the Glow Party was ten times louder than any other evening. Our cabin was literally shaking, and this went on till 1 AM. On other evenings, the noise level was really tolerable.

 

I ended up calling to complain about the noise. To my surprise, they ended up crediting my account $100 for being inconvenienced by the noise, which I though was VERY nice.

 

I am in # 14274....thanks for the "heads up!" :)

Did you take any pictures of the cabin / Balcony? I'd love to see if those little bump-outs on the diagrams equate to the cabin being larger than the rest.

We were in 14276 B1 aft, 5/26/13 sailing, also complained constantly about the noise from Spice H2O. It was really loud, do not book deck 14, or for that matter 13 or 12. From 10:30pm to about 1am it was intolerable. We got moved, finally, to a mini suite, mid-cruise.
For 2 reasons, I am soo glad I switched from deck 14 to 11. Noise and balcony size. Only negative for me is a longer hike (elevators :)) to the cafe for coffee/snack runs. Thanks for the confirmation and glad to hear you managed to get a solution even though part of your cruise was not as nice as you may have hoped it would be.
